Well, sort of. I liked some things he said at first, and it was true that the press immediately focused on his weight and started making him look ridiculous on that basis. Here in the South, there are lots of big guys...but apparently in the NE Corridor, this is a mortal sin.

Maybe he’ll get his act together. But I think that he’s a Bush-style Republican, and while I thought W was great on a personal level and even on a moral and intellectual level, he was a lousy politician and he kept courting the wrong people (his ideological enemies).

That’s what Huckabee did and it completely discredited him. But maybe he can make it up; you never know.

He made a ton of money selling a book about diet and weight loss. He came by that criticism honestly.

Most anyone could lose weight if they had a Chef who cooked amazing fat free meals. Mike never was honest about that particular sin of omission.
